Stepper motor questions
September 29, 2009 09:56PM
I'm pricing electronics for my Reprap. I see from Makerbot they sell the suggested NEMA 23 Stepper for $28.00 and the NEMA 17 for $15.00 which was speced for the Cupcake. The big question is since the 17 and the 23 have 200 steps can is use the cheaper 17 and get the same results or does the 23 have extra torque? Thanks.

So I want the extra torque. Extra torque is a good thing. Gotcha.
